Seminar Description
Special librarians confront challenges each day in meeting the needs of their customers. Whether they're researching the latest hot topic or gathering permissions on licensed content, they're likely to face issues revolving around the topic of fair use. Fair use interpretations vary from source to source, and not until it becomes a court issue does an interpretation have much merit (and once the court has decided, there may still be some room for debate). This session will review the five most important things a special librarian needs to know about fair use, especially when it comes to the workplace.
